As the crisis in ambulance handover delays continues, hospital bosses in Shropshire say a new pilot scheme will help free up paramedics.
Ambulances are frequently seen stacked up outside the county's hospitals waiting to hand patients to A&E
Patients arriving in ambulances are routinely waiting in the back of the vehicles with paramedics while they wait for a space in A&E – frequently for more than 10 hours. Now SaTH has also commented on its decision to take part in the initiative, which it hopes will improve issues at the hospitals. It comes as figures provided to the Shropshire Star show the continuing state of waiting times at the county's hospitals – and the resulting distressing experiences for the patients involved.
